SANITARY PAPER WRAPPER FOR ICE-CREAM (JONES.

Application filed December 13, 1920.: Serial No. 430,364.

. the like, which may be applied to the cone at the factory at the time of making the same, in order that the cone need not be subsequently touched by the hands.

More specifically the invention contem plates the provision of a wrapper which may be made of paper or the like, and which may be readily wrapped around a cone, and at the same time provide means for engaging the same so as to hold the wrapper in position. v

The cone engaging'means consists of tabs formed upon the wrapper and arranged to be folded within the cone, and one of said' tabs is formed with an extension arranged to project from the cone, so that by grasping the same, the tabs may be readily withdrawn from the cone when it is desired to fill the latter with ice cream or the like.

The invention will be readily understood from the following description of the'accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a plan view of the blank com prising the wrapper. I

Fig. 2-is a side elevation showing the wrapper partially folded around an ice cream cone.

Fig. 3-is a'similar view showing the cone encased in the wrapper.

The improved wrapper is particularly adapted to be employed in connection with an ice cream cone such as is shown at 1 in dotted lines, but it will be obvious that the invention is not limited-to this particular application. I

The wrapper is a blank such as shown 1n Fig. 1, and is preferably formed of paper. It is substantially a sector of a circle and has the side edges 2'and 3 and the curved cone, with edge 4 at the mouth of the cone, and the side edges 2 and 3 overlapping as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

The side edge 3 which is received against.

the cone, is preferably elongated at the apex Specification of Letters Patent.

of the sector in order to form the lip 5, and after the blank has been wrapped into position, this lip is twisted around the bottom of the cone and itswrapper, in order to hold the latter in position.

The wrapper may be further held in position by means of a usual gummed tab 6 upon the side edge 2, and adapted to be stuck to the Wrapper when the same is in position; or if desired the edge 2 may be pasted to the wrapper throughout its length, as soon as the latter has been wrapped around the At each end of edge 4 of the wrapper blank, the latter is extended so as to form ears 7 and 8 pro'ecting radially beyond the sector forming t e blank; and at the junction ofear 8 at side edge 3 and the upper edge 4, an extension 9 of the blank is -ar-.

ranged beyond the edge 4 so as to extend part waiy lalong the same.

en the wrapper blank is placed upon a cone, the ear 8 is folded down into the cone as clearly shown in Fig. '2, and extension 9 is allowed to remain projecting beyond the mouth of the cone. The blank is then wrappedinto position and secured as pre viously described, and the ear 7 is then folded down into the cone over the ear 8, as shown in Fig. 3. The cone is thus held against displacement from its wrapper, and the rejecting extension 9 forms a convenientliandle, which when drawn away from the cone will withdrawthe folded ears 7 and 8 so that the cone may be filled.

It will be notedthat the wrapper as thus described forms a sanitary coverlng for the cone, but at the same time is so arranged that the folded ears may be readily withdrawn in order to place the cone in condition for use.

In practice the wrappers will be applied to the'cones as they are made, and the lat- .ter may then be nested in usual manner for transportation. In using a cone, after with drawing the folded ears in order that the cone may be filled, the ears may be torn off and thereby leave the cone with aprotecting cover while the filler is bein and this cover may be subseque'ntil away as desired.

It will be apparent maybe made in the construction as thus described without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What isclaimed is:

1. A wrapper'for an article having an y torn eaten;

that various changes open end with projecting tabs at the respec-.

.tive sides of the wrapper'adapted to be folded within the encased article.

2, A Wrapper for an article having an open end with projecting tabs adapted to be folded within the encased article, one of said tabs having an extension forming a handle for withdrawing said folded tabs.

3. A protecting covering comprising a blank adapted to be wrapped around an article, and having projecting tabs at each side of said wrapped covering arranged to be to overlie one another, and an extension upon the. under tab projecting outwardly and forming a handle.

6. A protecting covering comprising a blank adapted to be wrapped around an article with the lower end of the blank having an extension twisted over the end of the article so as to retain the cover in position.

7. A protecting covering comprising a blank adapted to be wrapped around an article with the lower end of the blank twisted over the end of the article so as to retain the cover in position, the upper end of said blank having projecting tabs at the respective sides thereof adapted to be folded within the encased article.

8. A protecting covering for a tapering article comprising a sectorshaped blank adapted to be wrapped around the article and having a projecting lip for securing the free edge of said blank to the same.
